China Glaze’s Rodeo Diva Collection is STUNNING!

Date: Monday, September 29th, 2008 Author:

China Glaze’s Rodeo Diva Collection really caught my eye. I haven’t gone on a nail polish spending spree in sometime, but I just couldn’t get these out of my head. There were so many colors that called to me. In reality, I didn’t fall in love with as many as I wanted to, but I did find several that I can’t wait to do full manis/pedis with!

Wagon Trail (above) is this insane combination of brown-black with gold shimmer. It has some of the coolest reflectivity to it. I also thought Rodeo Fanatic was phenomenal–it is like MAC’s Whirldwind, but bluer and richer and better. Red Stallion is a bright holiday-perfect red with subtle shimmer, and I imagine I have a few similar reds already. Golden Spurs is a brownish-tan color with lots of visible golden shimmer, which brightens it from a rather “blah” base to something suitable to wear around the office. Yee-Haw! has the same texture/look as Golden Spurs, but it’s a subdued coppery-orange-brown base. Lasso My Heart is such a gorgeous shade of a deep, jewel-toned purple with fuchsia shimmer. Cowgirl Up is an intense shade of bright jewel-tone fuchsia-purple; it’s just out of this world–I loved it. Prize Winning Mare is a cooler tan-brown with gold shimmer; it didn’t really do anything for me.Midnight Ride looks black in the tube, but it has this fuchsia-purple reflection that is lovely (which shows up well in the photo).Branding Iron is a dark, intense ruby red that’s a little on the vampy side; it’s such a deep shade of red with some shimmer, I love it. Gussied Up Green is darker than a true emerald green–it has some forest green in it–but the shimmer makes it fun to wear. Side Saddle is a dark reddish brown color with shimmer that looks multi-colored in some lighting.

My Must-Haves: Wagon Trail, Rodeo Fanatic, Cowgirl Up, Midnight Ride, & Branding Iron

See the rest of the swatches…

All swatches are done quickly with two coats to show you color, not neatness ;)

    Where can I purchase China Glaze (online)? Have you ever ordered from 8ty8beauty.com? The prices seem too good to be true….

    I’ve been wanting this collection for a LONG time, but nowhere near me has it. :(

      I’ve ordered from there before! That’s actually where these came from :) They’re really quick to ship, the shipping price is accurate (I paid $11 on 20 nail polishes). My order was slow because two polishes were out of stock, so that’s why I had to wait so long.

  8. Amethyst says:

    I’m loving a lot of these shades. I find that shimmer polish always lasts longer on my nails. Can’t wait to buy some of these!

    Yee Haw!

    I buy China Glaze at a local Sally Beauty Supply store. I went there looking for “Wagon Trail,” but it wasn’t available, so I bought “Gussied Up Green” instead. I absolutely love it! Definitely going back to get more of the RD Collection!

    Gussied Up Green and Midnight Ride are hot too.

  13. Stacey says:

    Oh man. I NEED Wagon Trail, Rodeo Fanatic, Cowgirl Up, Midnight Ride and Gussied Up Green. Won’t be able to wear them because of work… but I don’t care!!!!!

  14. rocketqueen says:

    I adore all the colors! I love head2toebeauty.com for China Glaze, quite speedy shipping to Sweden.

  15. Chica says:

    Anyone from the UK know a cheap site I can order these from? The colours are fantastic but I can’t afford £7 a colour + shipping :/
    Golden Spurs and Gussied up Green are gorgeous, that is the only green I’ve ever thought looked wearable, nice :)
    Thanks so much for showing us how they look on Christine, so often colours look gorgeous in the pot but look all washed out on.
